Topic: What is Sanctification? October Monday 5th

Text: John 17: 14-21

Key verse: John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.


Sanctification is a word that has two meanings. The Jesus kind of sanctification and the sanctification He prayed for all the believers in Him. Jesus said, for their sakes, I sanctified Myself. That means I consecrated Myself and I dedicated Myself to God for the purpose of making humanity sanctified. Definitely, the sanctification here that Jesus was praying for the brethren is not dedication, because they were already dedicated. They were already dedicated in the sense that they had left their houses and were following Him. In one sense, sanctification means dedication to godly use. It is dedication to God or consecration to God for God’s use and for God’s honour. In that case, therefore, both Jesus and all that believe in Christ Jesus are consecrated, dedicated and sanctified. They are set aside. He has said about them that they are not of the world, they are not sinners in the world but God’s own. He said, I dedicated Myself for their sanctification. 


Sanctification in another sense means the purification of a believer from the remains of sin to make him holy, clean, pure and undefiled. This second meaning of sanctification is an experience of faith. It comes through faith in Jesus. Ask Him to sanctify you. Just as the sinner comes to Jesus by faith for forgiveness of sin, the believers also should come back to Jesus through faith for heart sanctification. You have the sinful nature that results in sinful actions, sinful works and sinful activities. The sinful nature causes inner corruption or pollution. After salvation or restoration from backsliding, a child of God must go back to God for heart purification which is called sanctification. Desire the experience of sanctification. Pray and believe that you have it. God will give it to you. Jesus tells us how this prayer should be done. Keep praying until this is done. You need it to give you a holy heart and free entrance into heaven. Holiness is required for heaven. Earnestly pray for sanctification and the Lord will grant you in Jesus name.

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
